Join us for more holiday Make Your Own crafts on Saturdays here in our Meeting Room.

11/16, 1:00-2:00- Make Your Own Pomander. A pomander is a ball or perforated container of sweet-smelling substances such as herbs and spices, placed in a closet, drawer, or room to perfume the air; a piece of fruit, typically an orange or apple, studded with cloves and hung in a closet by a ribbon for a similar purpose. They are a beautiful way to decorate your home. Cherie Knight will be providing apples, oranges, cloves, and presentation ideas for you to try. 

12/6, 1:00-2:00- Make Your Own Simple Swag. Use some fresh evergreens and decorations to create beautiful swags for door frames, mantles, or windows. Cherie Knight will provide the greens and decorations, as well as decorating ideas for your holiday season.

Funding for these workshops provided by the Friends of the Bridgton Library.

We have some great workshops on the calendar as we head into the holidays!

On Saturday, 11/9 we have two programs:

10:00-11:30- UMaine Cooperative Extension presents Growing Microgreens 101. Microgreens are herb, flower, or vegetable greens grown densely in trays and harvested just after they’ve put on their first true leaves. These tiny greens are packed with nutrients, color, and flavor. They are easy to grow indoors and can take between 7-28 days to produce a harvest. Participants will learn optimal growing conditions, the variety of seeds available and their flavor profiles; take home will include a container of microgreen sown seeds. Presented by Pamela Hargest.

1:00-2:00- Start off the season with some hand-crafted spice blends. Each participant will take away three different blends, in perfect gift-sized containers, to keep or give away. Each spice blend will be great for soups, dips, or just to add a little pizzazz to your steamed vegetables. Presented by Anita Micale.

Funding for both workshops is provided by the Friends of the Bridgton Library.
